Quentin the Quail funny little bird is he
Feathers on his head make him different
But they don't make him better than me
Quentin the Quail he talks differently
Just cos he can see the sun go down
Doesn't mean he's better than me
So if you want to be my friend
You've gotta come down from up there
How can the view look good to you
When you've always got your nose in the air?
Quentin the Quail lives in a lavender tree
He thinks his nest is the very best
But mine's all right with me
So if you want to be my friend
You'll have to come down from up there
How can the view look good to you
When you've always got your nose in the air?
I remember the night when the rain came down
I remember the night when the lightning flashed
I remember the night when his nest fell down
I remember the night when the tree got smashed, and
Quentin the Quail was in such misery
'Is it all right if I stay the night?
I've nowhere to sleep, you see'
So if you want to be my friend
You'll have to come down from up there
How can the view look good to you
When you've always got you nose in the air?
Now Quentin the Quail he lives happily
With all the quails and that's good for him
And that's all right with me
When the day is done, we go and watch the sun go down
And Quentin the Quail has a hundred friends
And he's nice to have around
